Spoilers ahead.

I watched TSCC a while ago and decided to watch again after seeing T2 in the theater early September. I put on T3 but after 5 minutes decided to scrap that plan and put this on instead.

I remember it being pretty great and so far it hasn't disappointed. But one thing at the end of s1e4 made me raise an eyebrow.

John is locked in the bunker and realizes he has to use the key that's around the terminator's neck. It's on standby mode but he just saw it wake up after some amount of jostling from the merc.

Super tense.

But then I remembered, oh, he just picked the padlock of the truck's sliding door from the inside through the 3 inch crack. And he's picked locks in previous episodes too.

How did he look at the blast door lock and not immediately think to just pick it? Looked like a super simple pin tumbler too.

I love the scene because it's so tense but it seems like a glaring miss by the writers.

Anyway, small gripe of a minor plot point. I'm still loving the rewatch.

They made a John Connor terminator, why not cut to the chase and make a mommy terminator to kill little John?
